To say that the “Amazon Coat” has been WILDY popular is actually an understatement. I don’t know if I’ve ever personally witnessed a singular winter outwear piece that has taken over sidewalks, playgrounds and ice skating rinks the way this one thickened down coat has. It’s EVERYWHERE! And if you’re set on having it, it’s still available and is now offered in a fun red and brand new metallic color as well.

If you have no idea what I’m talking about, I’m referring to the Orolay Thickened Down Jacket, which due to its success on Amazon is now ubiquitously referred to as the “Amazon Coat”. I did a review on “THE” coat last year and ended up deciding it wasn’t for me. This year, I’ve been looking for alternatives.

On-Trend: 12 Warm Coats Like The Amazon Orolay Jacket

You guys know I love my Uniqlo Puffer, and I’m a big fan of the Boden puffers, too (read more about both here), but there IS something that keeps me thinking back to that silly Orolay coat on Amazon…I guess that’s why so many people have it. It’s a good price point, it’s warm, it’s comfortable, it has interesting details, and the oversized look is cool, current, and a playful change from your everyday basic puffer. Laura has been rocking hers and looks so amazing in it.

The TME Philly team challenged me to find 10 (I actually found 12!) good alternatives to the “Amazon Coat” for those of you who have also decided this coat isn’t the one for you. Maybe too many people on your playground are already wearing it, or maybe you don’t like the idea of wearing an “it” coat. Maybe it has too many zippers for you, maybe you were looking for plus sizing, or maybe you’re looking for something that’s made with more sustainable materials or a winter coat not from Amazon. I’ve got ALL the options.

So the Amazon Orolay thickened down jacket was "THE COAT" — the "it" coat — of 2019. BUT, we found 12 options (cool, sustainable, warm puffers). Try 'em.
